Hi,
I have a project with multiple files divided on 2 main packages.
I want to limit the scope of these files to see ONLY the files in the same package.
example:
Package1 has file1, file2, file3 and Package2 has file4, file5, file6

Now in the scope, I want the across files for file1 to make it able to see objects in file2 and file3 ONLY. and for file4 to see objects in file5 and file6.

I want to be able to customize the files to be seen (across files) .

Any help please.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
file1 can't see file4 because each file is in a different package.
I want them to see each other (i.e we can reference objects from file1 in file4) when I write in file4 a statement that allows files in a specific package to be accessible.

For example
File1 in package = pack1:
{
integer f1 = 10;

function foo (parameters: integer i, j){
i ++;
j= j+2;
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------

File4 in package= pack2 (Now it can't see ANYtHING in file1):
{
integer f2=0;
integer f3= 4;
f2 = foo(f2,f3); // ------------> This should give an error bec. foo is in file file1 in another package that is not accessible.

}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I will modify file4 to make ALL the files in pack1 to be accessible

File4 in package = pack2 will be like this:

{
Add Package pack1; //This will make files in pack1 accessible in pack2
integer f2=0;
integer f3= 4;
f2 = foo(f2,f3); //This will not give an error now

}

Hi this is more or less that imported namespace based scoing does by default (depending on how you implement your nameproviders. Simply give the ekenents the name packangename.ekementname

Hi Chris,
your solution is valid if the packages are handled by the grammar as a parent container but they are actually handled by the IDE. for example if I want to change the package of a file I have to click on the file in the project browser and choose to change the package. I took a look at the getScope in the global scope provider and tried to check on the package name there but it is not really working fine.
Any help?

Hi,
I did that and added the name of the package for each object in the files that belonged to this package. Now I have all the qualified names are correct pack1.fun1 , pack2.fun2 ,...etc.
Now for example the problem lies in this, I have package1 that contains file1 with function func1 and package2 that contains file2 with function func2. If i wrote in func2 "packge1.func1()" I found it accepted and func1 is seen in file2!!!!! however it should be seen ONLY if I added a clause that visible the objects in package1 to package2.
